This is what it looks like when you're being
towed!!!!!! Stan Conyer towed my ex-CN MT19 after I had flooded the engine during the
Illinois Railnet excursion in 1999.

Now this is a motor car! Photo
printed from a glass plate negative made in 1915 at Edgemont, Md. on the Western Maryland.

I guess that this motor car
won't be seen on the rails anytime soon. Photographed by raildude in Steelton Yard, which
is the ex-ACR, now WC and soon to become CN facility in Sault Ste Marie.

Only in Mexico! In 1971, a track gang from the
Chihuahua Pacific Railway spent many hours refurbishing their motor car with automobile
parts - from roof to hubcaps.

This speeder is on the Toonerville Trolley, a
24" gauge tourist line in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan that links Soo Junction
with the Tahquamenon Riverboat Service.

At the Washtucna depot in
Eastern Washington during September 1985, this BN motor car operator was planning to
inspect the track from Washtucna to Pasco and then play some golf in Pasco the following
day.

A British Mini car modified for
rail use by Canadian Pacific in the Northwest, rescued by Les King. There were apparently
5 of these cars so modified.

In a June 1974 railroad magazine, this photo
appeared with the caption "QUICK QUIZ: What transcontinental main line uses this
crossover between its two tracks? Answer: Union Pacific, at Castle Rock, Utah. This
stretch of 75-pound rail shown in the photo taken on August 7, 1973, is trod only by track
cars."

Who says that you can't steer a motor car. This
contrivance, along with flangeless rubber wheels on the rear, allowed this open M9
to be driven down the main street as part of the annual parade in Marquette, Michigan.

From an article on the
Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad (The Katy) in "Railroad
Magazine", July 1948 issue. The scan shows a delightfully modified
Fairbanks-Morse motor car and it's replacement.

In May 1960, this DSS&A section crew
cautiously navigated between Soo Junction and Hulbert in Upper Michigan. Note the outboard
motor providing power.

Published in Trains Magazine,
this railbus was converted from Fairmont motor cars for BC Rail to provide
daily transport for the Seton Lake Indian Band. Probably used a couple of
A cars.

The Missouri-Kansas-Texas
Railroad Superintendent's "Railmobile". That is one fancy
hyrail.
